Happy Global Running Day!!
For me, running serves three primary purposes:
1. A mental & physical outlet - a period of solitude, and self -care in a hectic day. I talk to G-d, myself, jam out, cry, and solve a myriad of problems while running 😜
2. As a mom of 5, it’s a great low-cost way for me to physically stay in shape and feel good in my clothes 😍. It requires minimal equipment and I can do it almost anywhere I am! 😎
3. A way to complete the recommended amount of daily steps! I logged 4 miles of running this morning and over 20K steps throughout the day 🤩
Did you run today?

Enjoy life NOW
BE happy NOW
Live in peace NOW
Create joy NOW
Forgive NOW

It’s kind of silly when I think about it. I’ll be happy when…What if that doesn’t happen? Search for happiness forever? 😬

What if it does? Then what? Find something else to MAKE me happy. 🫤

The reality is, I am in charge of my own happiness, contentment, peace, and joy 😌 So I might as well get busy appreciating the small things in my life that were once prayers asked. It may not all looked how I imagined, but it’s my life 🤩. I owe it to myself to make the best of it and LIVE NOW 💜

Most mornings my runs are my ME time, but today our wanted to tag along, and I was happy to have them join me on a 5K stroller run & bike ride ❤️ I’ll share my top 3 reasons why

1. They get to GO OUTSIDE! 🌳 Children (or any people really) shouldn’t be indoors all day! WE aim to spend a considerable amount of time outdoors daily ☀️

2. I really do like their company, we get to practice street safety, and explore our neighborhood together 🏠

3. The resistance of pushing a double stroller up these hills is making me a stronger runner 💪🏾

Do enjoy company or prefer solo workouts?

🌟 When I try a new form of exercise, I like to really immerse myself in it. Going as frequently as I can so I learn it easily and maximize the benefit.

💵This is one of the many reasons I LOVE ! I was able to snag a 10 class pass to ; allowing me to go about 3 times a week for the month of May.

💪🏾 I’ve already completed 5 classes and I’m feeling stronger in my core already! Continuing to eat nourishing foods help me to notice results even sooner!

❓When was the last time you tried something new? NOW just might be a good time 😉

Dropping in to say “hey”! I’m still here. Instructing. Sweating. Lifting. Moving 😎

And I hope you are too 😉
